Breakfast sausage links are a savory, protein-rich food typically made from ground pork or turkey, seasoned with a blend of spices like sage, black pepper, and thyme. Originating from European culinary traditions, particularly British and German cuisines, these sausages have become a staple of American breakfast fare. While their bold flavor and satisfying texture make them popular, they are often high in sodium and saturated fats, depending on the recipe or brand. Some versions include added sugar or preservatives, which may impact their nutritional profile. On the healthier side, they provide a source of protein and essential vitamins like B12 and zinc, supporting energy and metabolic functions. For a more nutritious option, lean varieties made with poultry or plant-based alternatives are available, offering lower fat content and fewer calories while retaining the classic taste and smell of breakfast sausage.
